Ultraportable Alternatives
Ultraportable laptops are indeed a trend these days. If you're thinking small thin laptops, the first thing in your mind would probably be the MacBook Air. But the Air is outrageously expensive for an ultraportable. Yes its the world's thinnest notebook, but there are other alternatives available on the market if you're not a Mac fan.
But buying decisions could be a struggle when choosing between low-cost and better-performing models. The cheap and basic ultraportable Kohjinsha series and Asus Eee PC have limited processing power and storage, simply good enough to surf the internet and edit Word documents. The expensive ultraportables, like Lenovo's IdeaPad U110 and Fujitsu's P8010, pack processing power, storage and memory.
Fujitsu LifeBook P8010The Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 weighs at 2.9-pounds (1.3-kilogram) and is the first to adapt Intel's low-power Core 2 Duo SL7100 LV chip running at 1.2GHz, which was shrunk 60 percent from Intel's original Core 2 Duo design. The chip consumes less power which gives this laptop a longer battery life, running for about six hours while using a wireless 802.11n network connection. The performance of built-in Intel graphics is also pretty decent.
The LifeBook P8010 comes with an OS choice of Windows XP Professional or Windows Vista Business. The performance is impressive; it boots in less than a minute, and programs load quickly. The laptop comes with a 12.1-inch screen and supports up to 2G bytes of RAM and up to 200G bytes of hard drive storage, but solid-state drive storage will also be available in the future.
It also has a DVD-RW drive and a built-in 1.3-megapixel Webcam. It supports TPM (Trusted Platform Module), a hardware-based authentication technology for system security. Overall, the P8010 is light and easy to carry, and delivers battery life and performance that can keep it working for hours on the road.

Lenovo IdeaPad U110Available in red and black, The Lenovo IdeaPad U110 costs slightly more than Fujitsu's LifeBook P8010, but it packs a faster Intel processor and has multimedia features that contribute to its appealing glossy design. The laptop comes with a dual-core Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 1.6GHz and includes the Vista Home Premium OS. It weighs 2.4 pounds (1.08 kilograms) and comes with an 11.1-inch screen.
The IdeaPad U110 comes with multiple batteries that gives the laptop an impressive eight-hour run time. Inside, the computer integrates Intel graphics, a 120G-byte hard drive and 2G bytes of memory, which is upgradeable to 3G bytes. The laptop also comes with VeriFace face recognition technology, where a built-in camera recognizes a face to log a person into the computer.
